Mark Doxon, of Doxon Toyota, donated $10,000 to the Auburn Valley Y during an opening dinner of the inaugural Emerald Downs 3-On-3 basketball tournament this past weekend.

On Saturday and Sunday, more than 1,000 players hit the half-courts assembled in the parking lot directly north of the track’s grandstand.

The tournament attracted 261 teams.

The event was made possible by local businesses, including sponsors such as Regence Health Care, Doxon Toyota, Olympic Eagle Distributing, Les Schwab, the City of Auburn and the Auburn Tourist Board, as well as Sterling Athletics – who provided the game balls for the tourney.
